No, the trachea and the spinal cord run parallel from about the base of the skull to the lungs. The spinal cord is superior to (above) the trachea, that means the spinal cord lies dorsally to the trachea. You could also say that the trachea is inferior to the spinal cord.

When you are doing body directions on a human, you have to lay the human on his belly. Anterior is towards the head; Posterior, towards the tail end. If you are a surgeon, then left and right are your left and right while facing the patient.
